HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

  • Strategic Change Leadership: Architect, own, and execute the localized Change Management Plan for the Belfast site integration. Define the "Case for Change" tailored to a transitioning Tier 1 supplier environment and ensure total business readiness across highly complex supply chain and manufacturing operations.
  • Training Strategy & Content Governance: Oversee and own the development of comprehensive documentation and high-quality learning materials using SAP Enable Now, ensuring alignment with the progressive rollout of the new S/4HANA platform across the former Spirit operations.
  • Deployment & Hypercare Orchestration: Design the global deployment framework locally and lead "Train the Trainer" initiatives to ensure flawless end-user adoption among hundreds impacted employees. Structure and lead the post-implementation hypercare phase, establishing robust "How Do I" support governance.
  • Project Management: Manage complex modifications within the classical “waterfall” environment and own the capability to shift to an agile governance (manage complex modifications within SAFe/Agile sprint cycles, seamlessly synchronizing content development with ambitious integration timelines).
  • High-Level Stakeholder Synergy: Serve as the primary liaison and strategic bridge between the Belfast integration team, local executive operations, and the core ERP Change Team, leveraging high-level networking to secure organizational buy-in during a sensitive M&A transition.
  • AI-Driven Transformation: Champion the use of AI and data analytics to predict deployment risks, analyze macroeconomic business impacts, and automate predictive reporting within the integration change pipeline.

ABOUT YOU

  • Be educated to degree level in Manufacturing Engineering, Production or Supply-chain, together with a minimum of 5 years’ relevant experience in Aerospace or related complex industries (e.g., Automotive, Defence)

OR

  • Be educated to HNC level in Manufacturing Engineering, Production or Supply-chain, together with a minimum of 8 years’ relevant experience in Aerospace or related complex industries (e.g., Automotive, Defence).
  • Experience: Extensive, proven track record in leading large-scale Change Management initiatives, specifically within Aerospace M&A, automotive integrations, or a similarly complex, international industrial supply chain. Direct experience with Tier 1 structures suppliers is a major asset.
  • Tech Intelligence & SAP: Strong proficiency in AI applications to enhance process analysis, risk forecasting, and strategic decision-making. Previous experience leading SAP environments or S/4HANA transitions during corporate carve-ins/integrations is highly desirable.
  • Methodology: Mastery of classical “waterfall” project management and experience with SAFe/Agile frameworks, paired with a demonstrated history of data-driven problem solving in high-pressure, risk-mitigation environments.
  • Mindset: A highly autonomous, transparent leader who excels at senior-level negotiation, conflict resolution, and driving "win-win" solutions across cross-functional and newly integrated organizational borders.
  • Languages: Fluency in English is mandatory. Proficiency in French and/or German is a distinct advantage.

This role requires a level of spoken and/or written English that is necessary to carry out the duties of the position effectively. Equivalent qualifications or demonstrable experience will be considered.

Please note that meeting the mandatory criteria listed above guarantees consideration for the role, but does not ensure progression to the interview stage. In the event of a high volume of qualified applications, the selection panel reserves the right to shortlist and progress candidates who additionally meet one or more of the preferential (desirable) criteria.

How We Can Support You
